We review 3 areas in which principles of landscape ecology might be applied to the …

Management of stream biodiversity is often tightly linked with the restoration and protection
of riparian and catchment vegetation. Despite that, there are no established guidelines on …

Mitigation of urban effects on streams requires an understanding of the paths by which
urban effects are transmitted from catchments to streams and how those effects are …

According to the European Water Framework Directive, member states are obliged to ensure
